Armored Core 2: Another Age User Reviews

No new arena, still lags when there is too much going on, Missions are repetative and sometime boring

Summary:

The expansion pack on AC2, this game really does just expand on the old formula. I was really upset that there is no new arena, as it is arguably the best aspect of the series. A ton of new parts are here, and they give you even more options. The customization here is incredible. The missions have various tasks, some boring, but there are many new and innovative levels. I especially liked jumping from plane to plane in midair. If you liked the second, pick this up. But I will recommend you play AC2 first, as it has more to offer.

theres one thing that would make it way better in any and every way. If they made it 4 players it would be cool u could play on teams and free for all or 3 on 1 or shit like that.BY THE WAY IS THERE ANY WA YU ALL COULD SEND THIS IDEA TO THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE THE GAME OR SEND ME THERE E-MAIL...............THAX

what's not to love. thousands of great part combonations, lots of missions, and an all new VS Mission option to see who is the better raven out of your friends. all in all a perfect game.

The bad:

the only thing bad is no arena and mail system. but not having on arena was made up for with the new VS option.

Summary:

i decided to put a review on here because to many wimps were leaving reviews (like "Bush Sucks"). that player complained saying the game was to hard for him. why would someone want a game that is to easy to beat. that takes all the fun out of it. it wasn't to hard for me. I made three cores that can stay in the air as long as i want. that's right, infinite flight time. all you people out there complaining should review your AC and make it better suited for combat rather than complain that "it's to hard.." you *bleep*ing pussies. i had lots of fun with this game. i do wish some parts from t...

The same excellent Armored Core setup in this installment. Some people complain about this fact, but the reason it is never really changed is because it is so awesome to begin with.

The framerate has been improved over AC2, meaning that you'll never experience slowdown, even in the most intense barrages of fire. The graphics engine is much the same, but some minor upgrades have been implemented.

The sound is the same as always, which is good but not great.

The bad:

This game lacks a proper storyline, unfortunately. I figured if they were going to take out the arena they should at least put some kind of plot into the missions, but it was not to be.

Again, the removal of the Arena was a serious blow to this game. And even though there are 100 missions the game does not take long to complete. Most missions take no more than 5 minutes. And they start to get very repetitive after a while.

Summary:

Despite all of this AC2AA is still an excellent game. It's one of those titles that never quite gets boring. This is largely due to the near infinate customization options you are given for your AC. You can build your robot mech just the way you want it. As such, not two games are ever the same, since going through the missions in a different AC can pose entirely new challenges.

The missions do get somewhat repetitive after a while. This is due to the fact that AC2AA always seems to use small areas for their missions. It makes it more difficult to put extra sidegoals in there.
